P07 – CM9798: Half & Half Premier League | @KingOfTheRooks

Hello and welcome to another week of what the f*** has this man done to CM9798. Yes, I don’t know how I live with myself. But live on we do. Last week, the lack of other goal scorers meant Fowler’s ban was further extended. Will Everpool cope? If you missed last week, you can catch up, here.

We open with the League Cup, and in a three-way derby, Suncastle come unstuck to their less illustrious neighbours, Boro.

Someone is inevitably splashing the half and half cash, and in this instance, it’s the Crystal Dons.

Sword Quest. Part 3: I’m Smelting! | @Emsonite

Hello. You back for more. Well if you remember from the first episode, William Wallace wants the Windscreen smelted for his sword. We’ve got at least 2 cracks at this tournament. And we’re drawn with Shrewsbury and Blackpool. This episode is going to mainly concentrate on our Windscreen campaign.

We leave it late at Gay Meadow but in the end it’s a comfortable win.

Qualified after one game.

P06 – CM9798: Half & Half Premier League | @KingOfTheRooks

Welcome back again to the Half and Half Premier League! Last week, Robbie Fowler’s match ban was extended to eight games with an additional five earned at the close of the month. If you want to be reminded why, you can do so here.

“(Christmas), and the scarves coming out! (Christmas), half and half’s all about!” Yes, it’s December and we must plough on through this field of s**** to the end of the season to reap what we have sewn. Derbyham Foresty, in no danger of financial trouble, sell their top scorer:

P09 – Binary Brilliance: Tackling CM2 97/98 with an AI Co-Pilot! | @tjmitcham1983

Welcome back to part nine of the Uniao de Lamas AI adventure! Despite blowing a load of cork money on half a new squad, Diogo and Miguel have only reached sixth place at halfway in season three. But form is decent, Savio is banging them in like an ex-Real Madrid starlet, and the Comendador’s stadium has been rocking of late. Let’s see if it continues.

First up it’s time for a tweak. Diogo lets Miguel’s AI brain take the reins, and it’s time to pass our opponents into oblivion!

P05 – CM9798: Half & Half Premier League | @KingOfTheRooks

Welcome back to the Half and Half Premier League! Confused? So are we. We’re approaching the mid-point in this madness, but there are clear and obvious winners and losers despite the mixed nature of the new league.

This week we start November with a keen eye elsewhere. As a massive advertisement for the league, the UEFA Cup sees Arseham take on the Crystal Dons. A draw sees the Dons through on aggregate.

P08 – Binary Brilliance: Tackling CM2 97/98 with an AI Co-Pilot! | @tjmitcham1983

Welcome back to the unpredictable and occasionally amusing realm of human/AI co-managership! We rejoin the action at the outset of season three. The owners, flush with cork-fueled wealth, have finally injected some funds, blessing us with an almost £2m bankroll. It’s high time to overhaul this squad!

However, our newfound financial cushion doesn’t prevent our top players from having release clauses that attract attention from bigger clubs. Our stellar winger, Mbarga, succumbs to the allure of the Dutch demi-giants, Vitesse Arnhem..

Sword Quest. Part 1: Blow my Thistle, Bitch | @emsonite

It’s been a running debate that has gathered pace recently. What if Celtic & Rangers joined the English Premier League? How would they fare? The rhetoric from the big two in Scotland has been getting feisty and the chairman of the English FA ain’t having it.  A spokesman for the Scottish Big 2 and the chairman of the English FA are invited on to Jerry Springer to sort out their differences.

P04 (2nd Attempt!) – CM9798: Half & Half Premier League | @KingOfTheRooks

Today we bring you the episode you missed before Christmas when the bugs of WordPress had it out for the Half & Half Premier League, hopefully you can see this monstrosity this time round…

Hello and welcome back! I’d have something witty to say, but by god this is a shocking idea that should never have left my head. Last time out, A City United continued to do season one Man Utd’s work as usual. If you missed it, you can catch up here.
